Abstract
If there is no evidence that a hospital is using market power to "force" its contracting physician upon patients and if the exclusive contract does not adversely affect price or quality, an exclusive arrangement should not violate the federal antitrust laws. These are the insights gained from the decision handed down by the Supreme Court in Hyde (Jefferson Parish Hospital District No. 2 v. Hyde, No. 82-1031).
如果没有证据表明医院利用市场力量将签约医生"强迫"给病人看病,而且排他性合同对价格或质量没有不利影响,排他性安排不应违反联邦反垄断法。这些都是从最高法院在海德(Jefferson Parish Hospital District No. 2 v. Hyde, No. 82-1031)的判决中获得的见解。
